European Spallation Source (ESS) Sweden, Postdoc – Beam Diagnostics
The Accelerator Division is responsible for the design, construction, commissioning and operation of the ESS accelerator. The pulsed superconducting linac, to be built in Lund, will produce a 5MW average power proton beam, driving the world’s most powerful neutron source. The Beam Diagnostics Group works alongside the other groups in the Accelerator Division to define and design the beam diagnostics systems for the ESS accelerator.
Description of main responsibilities
The candidate will participate in design and development of diagnostics systems for the ESS linac. Physical quantities that need to be measured include beam size and position, bunch length and time of arrival, as well as intensity, beam loss and halo. Depending on the specific project, significant travel and/or longer periods at collaborating institutions may be required.
Qualifications
• Candidates are expected to have a PhD or equivalent in a relevant field, and up to about five years of post-doctoral experience in accelerator diagnostics or a closely related field.
• Experience with sensor design, EM simulations, particle tracking, particle detectors, analog/digital electronics, FPGA programming and/or optics would be beneficial.
• A good general understanding of accelerator science is required, and control room experience with accelerator operation would be a significant advantage.
• Candidates should have demonstrated the ability to work independently and as part of a group. Previous experience with international collaboration is preferred.
• Experience of working in an international environment is essential.
• Excellent oral and written English skills are a prerequisite; knowledge of other European languages would be an advantage.
Duration & Location
2 years, with the possibility of conversion to open ended contract. The position is stationed in Lund, Sweden.
Start date
To be discussed, but as soon as possible.
Application & Contact
Please provide your curriculum vitae and covering letter in English by entering www.esss.se/careers. It is a requirement of our application process that the names and contacts details (e-mail address and phone number) of three references be provided. The deadline for applications is 14 August, 2011.

The European Spallation Source ESS AB will design, build and operate a multi-disciplinary, large-scale research infrastructure based on the world’s most powerful neutron source. ESS will provide scientists with unique and powerful neutron scattering instruments for the study of a large range of materials – from polymers and pharmaceuticals to membranes and molecules. The ESS project is partnered by 16 European countries, and hosted by Sweden and Denmark. The ESS will be built in Lund, Sweden, by a collaboration of European scientists and engineers. ESS is planned to produce the first neutrons by 2019. When the facility is in full operation 2025, ESS has around 450 employees.
ESS aim to ensure that staff are employed on the basis of ability and the requirements of the job, and that no applicant or employee receives less favorable treatment because of race, religion, ethnic origin, gender, sexual orientation or disability.
